Should AI-generated films be eligible for major awards like the Oscars?

The Academy already solved the transparency problem, and everyone is ignoring the solution. Its rules now require filmmakers to disclose AI use, so voters know what they are judging, the same way credits have always told us who did what. With that disclosure in place, the craft categories could become the most exciting part of the night: imagine production designers and visual effects artists competing on how inventively they wield these tools instead of pretending the tools do not exist. Cinematography awards did not die when color film arrived, they got more interesting. Eligibility with disclosure keeps the focus where it belongs, on what the humans chose to make, while dragging the conversation about AI in film into the open where it can actually be judged.
